The first record of Brachycyrtinae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) in Finland
We report the Darwin wasp <i>Brachycyrtusornatus</i> as the first record of the subfamily for Finland. We collected a single female specimen with a Malaise trap in Skanssi Biodiversity Park during a period from August to September 2024. This is the northernmost record of <i>B.ornatus</i> and the subfamily Brachycyrtinae as a whole. Notes on the species' distribution and morphological variation are included.
